  2. EU Strategies and funding for the ICT - an overview ofthe European programmes Sofie Nørager Directorate General Information Society and Media (DG INFSO) European Commission Treviso, May 22nd, BRISE Conference

  3. Overview of presentation • ICT theme under the Cooperation programme in FP7 • Work programme & Calls in 2007 • IST Policy Support Programme in the CIP • Work programme 2007 • Risk Sharing Finance Facility (RSFF) • New FP7 instrument Treviso, May 22nd, BRISE Conference

  4. FP7 ICT Work Programme Treviso, May 22nd, BRISE Conference

  5. FP7 programme • Cooperation • ICT 9.1 billion € 2007-13 • Capacities • 1.7 b€ Research infrastructures  0.57 b€ ICT based e-infrastructures: use of ICT based infrastructures in support of a new scientific process • Ideas • People Treviso, May 22nd, BRISE Conference

  6. ICT Work Programme approach and structure • ICT theme focuses on a limited set of Challenges that • respond to well-identified industry and technology needs and/or • target specific socio-economic goals • A Challenge is addressed through a limited set of Objectives that form the basis of Calls for Proposals • An Objective is described in terms of • target outcome • expected impact on industrial competitiveness, societal goals,.. • funding schemes • A total of 25 Objectives expressed within 7 Challenges Treviso, May 22nd, BRISE Conference

  7. Work Programme 2007 Challenges Socio-economic goals 4. Digital libraries and content 5. ICT for health 6. ICT for mobility & sustainable growth 7. ICT for independent living and inclusion 1. Network and service infrastructures 2. Cognitive systems, interaction, robotics Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) Industry/Tech needs 3. Components, systems, engineering Treviso, May 22nd, BRISE Conference

  8. Challenge 1: Pervasive and trusted network & service infrastructures • Network and service infrastructures underpin economic progress and the development of our societies • 2 billion mobile terminals in commercial operation, 1 billion Internet users, 400 million internet enabled devices • A growing and changing demand • for increasing user control of content/services for networking ‘things’ - TV/PC/phone/sensors/tags …for convergence: networks|devices|services - video/audio/data/voice/. • Current technologies can be, and need to be improved significantly • for scaling up and more flexibility for better security, dependability and robustnessfor higher performance and more functionality • Europe is well-positioned: industry, technology and use Treviso, May 22nd, BRISE Conference

  9. Challenge 2: Cognitive systems, robotics and interaction • Today’s ICT systems cannot learn from experience and reason, cannot contextualise and adapt, and cannot (inter)act based on observation and learning • many ICT applications cannot be developed further if there are no new breakthroughs in machine intelligence and systems engineering … • Overcoming such technology roadblocks opens the doors to a wide range of opportunities in new application fields • vision/sensing systems, service robots, health robots, industrial robots, multimodal and multilingual interactions ... • Europe has key assets to build on • world leadership in industrial robotics and systems engineering • mastering of multiple disciplines: neuroscience, microsystems … • excellent academic research in these fields Treviso, May 22nd, BRISE Conference

  10. Challenge 3: Components, systems, engineering • Electronic systems underpin trillion Euro ICT markets • Electronic systems are embedded in all artefacts of life • 20-40% of the value of new products comes from embedded electronics • increasing demand for lower cost, higher performance components • Europe is currently leading in embedded electronics in a number of industries • car safety, engine control, fly-by-wire avionics, telecom equipment, medical equipment, industrial automation … • European firms also among top semiconductor manufacturers and equipment companies • Europe enjoys leading positions in emerging fields • photonics, plastic electronics, flexible displays, integrated micro/nanosystems … Treviso, May 22nd, BRISE Conference

  11. Challenge 4: Digital libraries and content • Growing load of information and content and increasing demands for knowledge and skills • in less than 10 years, the average person will be managing terabytes of videos, music, photos, and documents every day • digital content production | consumption: from “few-to-many” to “many-to-many” models • Today’s technology provides limited tools for access/interaction, development/creation, delivery/diffusion and preservation of content & knowledge • Europe, with its unique cultural heritage and creative potential, is well placed to take advantage of technology developments and their use Treviso, May 22nd, BRISE Conference

  12. Challenge 5: Towards sustainable and personalised healthcare • Rising demands on healthcare • by 2050 close to 40% of the Union’s population will be over 65 years • growing expectations of citizens for better care • increasing mobility of patients and health professionals • need to respond to risks for emerging diseases • By 2010, ICT for Health spending may account for up to 5% of the EU’s total health budget, up from just 1% in 2000 • need to access, understand and securely manage huge amounts of health information • ICT is also supporting progress in medical research and a shift towards evidence-based medicine • European businesses have every opportunity to become leading global players in the new ICT for Health industry Treviso, May 22nd, BRISE Conference

  13. Challenge 6: ICT for Mobility, environmental sustainability and energy efficiency • Growing demand for transport services • more congestion, higher energy consumption, pollutant emissions • Accidents causing fatalities and injuries • over 40.000 fatalities on the EU roads every year • Increasing demand for natural resources • 1-2% per year for energy and growing water consumption • Natural and industrial disasters has doubled in one decade • killing 500.000 people and causing 700 billion of damage • Europe’s industry is one of the most competitive • automotive, transportation, civil protection, equipment supply … Treviso, May 22nd, BRISE Conference

  14. Challenge 7: ICT for Independent Living and Inclusion • Between 1998 and 2025 the proportion of the population classified as elderly will increase from 20% to 28% • more people with high disability rates • smaller productive workforce • Need for a paradigm shift in health and social careand new requirements for inclusion, accessability and usability • Complexity and lack of accessibility and usability of many ICT-based products and services is a major barrier for many people • A major economic opportunity for European industry Treviso, May 22nd, BRISE Conference

  15. Future and Emerging Technologies Objective • Lay foundations of the ICT innovations of tomorrow • Foster trans-disciplinary research excellence in emerging ICT-related research domains • Help emerging research communities to organise and structure their research agenda • Avoid ‘tunnel vision’ in FP7, by exploring unconventional ‘minority’ options and opportunities off the beaten track FET Open Scheme • Open Call for continuous submissions • Open to any foundational ICT-related research of High-risk / high-potential impact FET Pro-active Initiatives • Fundamental cross-cutting long-term challenges in ICT • ICT Call 3 Treviso, May 22nd, BRISE Conference
